## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5**: I had a terrible experience at this school. They cannot decide who goes with who, and they try to squish everyone on one side. For people like me, this means I have no privacy in the lunch hall. On multiple occasions, I have been about to eat my food, but the hygiene is so poor I can't eat it. Once, I found a big bit of sauce on the plain pasta I was given. It is clear they reused the bowl without cleaning it. If you want you or your kids to not get sick, I recommend other schools. *(Sep 2026)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience: My child is in Year 5 and has had an amazing experience at Ditton Primary. The teachers are supportive, and the school's values of resilience, pioneering and children first really shine through. I love the wrap-around care and the variety of after-school clubs. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good Experience So Far: We've had a good experience at Ditton Primary so far. The facilities are great, and the teachers seem to be making a real effort to engage with the pupils. However, I've heard that sometimes the school's communication with parents can be a bit patchy. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School That Cares: Ditton Primary has been a brilliant choice for my family. The school's focus on creativity and individuality has really helped my child thrive. The staff are friendly and approachable, and I feel confident that my child is in good hands. *(Sep 2021)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Support for SEND Pupils: I have fond memories of my time at Ditton Primary, and I'm so impressed by the school's commitment to supporting pupils with SEND. My child had a great time, and I was really grateful for the extra support that the SENCO provided. *(Jun 2021)*
